Lots of opions out there these days about calibers, bullets, self imposed limitations etc. for elk hunting. I'm thinking the boys that go year after year should go ahead and post the guns that were in this years camp up on the board as you and your parties are the ones that have gone time and time again..just curious as to what shows up !!

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

I was hunting with two bowhunters and I had the only rifle, it was .50 caliber.
